Winning is a habit. Watch your thoughts, they become your beliefs. Watch your beliefs, they become your words. Watch your words, they become your actions. Watch your actions, they become your habits. Watch your habits, they become your character.

TL;DR This is my search to be independent, self-fulfilled from work I can do best; and most importantly self-employed.
Here is my intro. No sign to crypto in here.
About me
My name is Jake Callahan, I’m 39 years old; I live in Arizona U.S.; college graduate; working in an internet company; I have two adorable kids; Divorced; paying my monthly alimony; got my hobbies; not focused on what I want to do in life – hence not satisfied. (period).
I like sweets and junk food; Hamburgers and fries; Sushi; Chocolates – I am more of the sweets food guy;
Hanging around with friends; Snowboarding; beers; girls; showing-off; sensitive; doesn’t give a #f; ADHD.
I tend to waist a lot of on T.V; doing small chores and daily arrangement;
In my mind, comparing to other people I know and assure I can do better than most people I meet.
Strength and Weaknesses
Weaknesses First
1. Skeptic
I can start believing in something but then in the long, I fail to maintain this belief. Small things can influence my belief and I never think I can make it.
2. Never finishing stuff
I can start doing many projects but I never seem to finish them. Maybe It’s my ADHD.
3. Not focused
Having too many ideas at the same time; charging to each one of them instead of focusing on the same thing.
4. Procrastinating
How can I go without leaving all kind things and postpone them for tomorrow?
5. Easily distracted
Many outside distractions can get me off track and take me away from what I do.
6. Fear of success
Getting things that are less important done before I get to the real work and I need to do.
And I have to have some Strengths as well
1. I have it
I can manage people; I know how to start operations and I know how to make things work. Looking on it from the business perspective – I got the know-how.
2. It’s in my nature
I remember my first time showing my startup at Techcrunch. The feeling was like being back home; Wondering through the different entrepreneurs and their ideas as one of them made me feel I’m just where I want to be.
3. Relevant experience
I had my startup; worked both as an employee and self-employed; I have seen many successful and unsuccessful endeavors and people; I know how to lead my way in good and in bad times.
4. Hard worker
One of my virtues is working hard. I can postpone anything that is not work related and put work first.
5. Easily distracted
Many outside distractions can get me off track and take me away from what I do.
6. Fear of success
Getting things that are less important done before I get to the real work and I need to do.
So this is how it goes
With this starting point, I begin.
Shi@#%%y disadvantages; much dead weight to carry and many ambitions.
This is my way to make the first dollar;
This is my way to financial freedom and my way to success.
Following in the next posts is how I deal with my weakness; How I made my first dollar and what is needed in order to make things done.
